“Arginine does have the effect of dilating arterials. And it basically increases blood supply. The arginine pathway is involved in vasodilation. [...] And anytime people have problems with peripheral blood flow of any kind, they focus on compounds that will either disrupt the enzymes or will adjust the levels of amino acids to get more vasodilation. So taking arginine for the purpose of increasing growth hormone will also have the effect of dilating blood vessels and for people with blood, excuse me, with heart conditions, that actually can be a serious issue.”
